The programs offered are brief because, as the name suggests, the content is a surprise to both the audience and actors. The performances showcase the improvisational talents in situations ranging from comedy to drama with some educational content for both children and adults. Teams compete in the regional tournaments in March and a select few advance to the national tournament in April. Past participants have gone on to full time acting careers.
